The Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Art Museum
The Cantonese Opera Art Museum is located on Enning Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province,
The architecture of the Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Art Museum is very exquisite and distinctive. The museum's garden area consists of a group of antique buildings in the style of Lingnan gardens. The overall layout of the buildings is arranged along a cross-axis skeleton, with six groups of courtyard spaces scattered around the central Wan Sha Lake, each connected yet relatively independent. The decorations highlight traditional architectural craftsmanship and techniques combined with high-standard materials such as wood carvings, brick carvings, pottery sculptures, and plaster sculptures. In the center of the garden, there is a pure wooden structure waterfront stage (Guangfu Stage), where Cantonese opera and music performances are often held, dynamically showcasing the unique features of Cantonese opera art.
